Yeah that ain't happening on mobile with no strafe.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Go on. Play like it's 1993 all over again.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

Tell me you played with strafe in 1993 and I'll never belueve another word out of your mouth.

I have distinct memories of my dad teaching me to strafe on his 486-powered laptop with a laggy monochrome screen. Maybe it was a modifier key that changed left/right to strafing? It was definitely a feature in the OG Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it.

yeah, it was Alt. i don't know what's wrong with these other people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

They don't want to admit they never bothered looking at the control options.

Me and my cousins absolutely used strafe back in the early 90s. And forwards. And backwards. We were so excited every time we got into a gunfight we would have moved vertically too if there was an option for it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

There was an option for that. It was called "Descent".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Nobody I knew in the early 90s played with strafe. That wasn’t a thing that existed. I couldn’t agree with you more.

How do I press Alt on my phone?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Get USB OTG and plug in any keyboard. Or you could use a bluetooth one.

Found the robot

I proved I was human on mobile without strafe. You just have to let them come to you. The wall protect you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I ain't no pansy ass spawn camper! That ain't how you play doom!

... But yeah that works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I did it without camping. Only took like 4 tries.

Just run to the hole upfront that's slightly to the left and shoot while running there.

I even managed to grab a shotgun.
